Check out Light Bicycle. NOBL almost meets all your criteria as well, TR32s with DT Swiss 240 hub and Sapim D-Light spokes with a claimed weight of 1400 grams. Inner diameter is 27(F)/26(R) mm, though, so they are a bit off your wishlist. NOBL does have a lifetime warranty on their premium series, whereas I believe Light Bicycle has a limited warranty.

Berd spokes.
Maybe a year ago I became aware of a new technology being used to make bicycle spokes. By and large spokes are made from steel these days, primarily because steel makes for such a great blend of weight, cost, and durability. Experimentation with aluminum and composites has happened and will...

My wheels ended up coming in at 1480 grams. I like light parts however they have to work very well for me first and foremost, and these do. The rear rim is a downhill layup and this has been a good thing on a few occasions. The front rim is 33mm wide which works well for a front and adds considerable weight. The spokes are dead reliable, and I really like the P321 hubs for this application.
I've been on these wheels for 2.5 years now and they show no signs of failure. I plan to keep them a good bit longer.
Wheels can certainly be made lighter, my Spur 29" wheels weigh 1095 grams, however I wouldn't take those rims to the bike park.

Not gonna lie, building a wheel where the hub is heavier than the rim is strange to me.A recent build fits the bill, or at least very close to it.
-Onyx Vesper hubs, Boost, 28H.
-Berd Spokes.
-Newmen Advanced SL X.A30 29" rims, 30mm inner width.
-621g for the front, 859g for the rear.
